with Tim Allen's support of President Donald Trump.
The show ranked No. 48 in viewership among broadcast shows this season, with
an average of 5.89 million viewers, the Nielsen Co. said.
That's more viewers than some other ABC series that have been invited back,
including Black-ish, Shark Tank and The Goldbergs, which just scored a two-
year renewal for a fifth and sixth season.
When it was announced that the sitcom would not return, Allen took to
Twitter and said: 'Stunned and blindsided by the network I called home for
the last six years.'
On the show, Allen portrayed a senior executive and director of marketing
for an outdoor sporting goods chain.
The popular sitcom was cancelled earlier this month during its sixth season,
causing many fans to be outraged by the move as some accused the network of
cutting the show over 63-year-old Allen's political stance.
But ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey said on Tuesday the move to
cancel the show was solely about ratings.
'A large part of these jobs are managing failure, and we have made the tough
calls and canceled shows that we would otherwise love to stay on the air,'
Dungey said.
'That's the job. I canceled Last Man Standing for the same business and
scheduling reasons that I canceled Dr. Ken, The Real O'Neals, The Catch and
American Crime.
'Last Man Standing was a challenging one for me because it was a steady
performer in the ratings, but once we made the decision not to continue with
comedies on Fridays, that was where we landed.'
